A Top-Tier Car Selling Experience
I just sold my car with Car.co.uk and I have to say, the whole process was incredibly smooth. I got an online quote, and everything went exactly as they said it would. The collection was scheduled at my house, which was super convenient. The driver was a true professional—they were not only efficient but also very kind. As soon as the car was collected, the payment landed in my bank account immediately, which was a fantastic surprise. I highly recommend Car.co.uk for anyone looking to sell their car without any hassle.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

Scrap my car in Eastleigh FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid in Eastleigh for a scrap car is £195, but that will have no bearing on what you will receive. Your quote is based on several factors, including your vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal. Scrap car prices can move daily, and you can get your price in under 30 seconds before booking collection.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Eastleigh. If you nominate someone else, they must be over 18 and able to hand over all necessary paperwork.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. Photo ID, proof of address, and supporting records such as MOT certificates or service history can help prove ownership, although checks may take slightly longer before collection and processing can go ahead.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment for your scrap car is made by bank transfer, not cash, as per the guidance set out in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions when the vehicle matches the details you provided.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

There is no need to contact the DVLA, as Car.co.uk automatically handles the DVLA notification when the Certificate of Destruction is processed.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Eastleigh, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, you can still usually proceed with alternative paperwork, and we'll guide you through what to provide so the vehicle can be processed compliantly.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so speak to them before booking, and we'll explain the next steps once you have confirmation.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you must show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, with your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise before booking.
